Utilização de uma ferramenta de escrita colaborativa na disciplina de Ciências Naturais : uma experiência com alunos do 8º ano de escolaridade

Abstract

This article describes a learning experience on online collaborative writing with the Web 2.0 tool GoogleDocs with a group of 8th grade students in a Natural Science course. Students were proposed to share a same GoogleDocs document where the teacher had proposed a mainframe of relevant topics on the curricular subject “Disturbance in the Equilibrium of the Ecosystems”. In groups, students shared tasks and develop a written collaborative project over a period of six sessions of 90 minutes each. At the end, students presented the group contributions using the Powerpoint software that integrates the application. Evaluation and results are presented and commented.
